pollard sucked in coverage and was an even worse tackler. he had two full years as a starter to prove himself and didn't. no team wanted to trade shit for him either. that combined with the fact that he is to much of a pussy to handle haley and there is really no debate.

you can bash pioli for lots of things, but not pollard
the truth is almost everyone hated him and wanted him gone, and the archives make that clear....if you think pioli is a dumbass for cutting him, then you have to admit you're a dumbass too.... i mean literally there were 3-4 people who said we should keep pollard because he's going to get better..... i can't even believe he keeps coming up...

There is the Pollard who had to deal with no team thinking he was worth a 7th round pick, getting cut, sitting at home for a month before anyone came calling, and who landed on a defense with more help around him. That Pollard might be a better player. But that isnt the Pollard we had. We had the Pollard who, for 2008, got an overall rating of -16.1 from Profootballfocus. For 2009, Mike Brown had an overall rating of -9.9. Both are awful, but Pollards rating is noticeably worse. Given his prior history and his disaster of a preseason, its not exactly crazy to suggest that, had he stayed in KC, Pollard would have played just as badly (if not worse) than Brown or any other safety that was here. |

I dont think Pollard is a pro-bowler at all. there is a lot of good strong safeties in the AFC that are much better such as Yeremiah Bell (MIA), Melvin Bullitt (IND), Jim Leonhard (NYJ), Troy Polamalu (PIT)*, Bob Sanders (IND)*, and hopefully Eric Berry (KC) as well

As I already stated, this wasn't cherry picking. This all happened IN ONE GAME. In THREE QUARTERS of one game.
Pollard was a shit player in Kansas City and did not appear to be changing based on the 2009 preseason.

You do realize those were four missed tackles that should have been tackles?

I judge a player like this: Is he a liability? Yes he was. Everytime the ball left the QBs hands, I was worried whether Pollard would be out of position, whether he would whiff, or whether he would be too slow to react. He was a talented mofo, but I want players that I can count on. Period. You just could not count on the guy consistently enough. The Texans had nobody at S. I have heard plenty of Texans fans say that they don't trust him in coverage either, and were pissed when they didn't address the position in the draft. |
